We're playing a very different game that now calls for different representation. Wouldn't surprise me if we lost six 72s, we've just demonstrated to DHL that we don't need them.
You probably need to look at how other companies have been using this method. Learn from other councils/unions mistakes. It looks like airline management in general have learned how to leverage one group against the other via a holding company that owns multiple airlines.
Below is an slideshow presentation of such between Polar and Atlas. It details what you could expect and be prepared for to counter when your management copies Atlas Holding Company method of operation. Ignore the hate between the groups in the presentation and
look at what the company does to work them against each other for the holding company's benefit. Expect the same.
Learn from others mistakes.
